Update #15: Festivals!

Posted on April 17

Hello Must Come Down Supporters!

Since the last update, lots has happened!  We premiered at Cinequest San Jose, and then made our way down to Arizona to screen at the Phoenix Film festival.  Two super fun festivals!

Next up:  We've been accepted to screen at Newport Beach Film Festival and Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival!  Very excited!

Update #12: Festival Season Is Upon Us

Posted on September 10, 2011

Hey Everyone!

It's been a while since the last post, so I thought I'd update you on where we're at.  The edit is done and the film is gaining interest fast, which is great!  We are still pulling together the finishing funds for the film, but my goal is to have everything pretty much wrapped up in the next month or so.  Exciting!  Then it'll be time to submit to the festivals.  You never know how those things will go since thousands of films get submitted every year, so fingers crossed!  

We held a small test screening in Salt Lake City, generously hosted by the Salt Lake Art Center, and it went very well.  I got lots of good responses to the film and the performances of the two main actors, David Fetzer and Ashly Burch, which I couldn't be more happy about.  

I wanted to thank you all for being so patient about receiving your incentives.  I've sent out all of the $10 incentives (if you didn't receive yours, let me know), but the rest of the incentives are pretty much waiting on the film.  As soon as we are at the stage of getting DVDs made, all the rest of the incentives will be sent out.  As that time approaches, I'll check back in with everybody to make sure I have your current mailing addresses.  That will be a good day for me, to actually hold a physical copy of the film in hand.  Can't wait!

I'll try to update again soon.  Thanks again everyone, your support has been so awesome!

cheers!

Update #11: Filming Complete!

Posted on October 4, 2010

Hey everyone!
Sorry it's been so crazy with shooting and editing that I haven't posted any updates. We are now through with filming and we even have a rough cut almost completed! It's very exciting being so close to completion. We have final edits, sound, and color to finish.
I'll post some stills from the film soon and more updates!
Gotta update the facebook and website too! Busy busy.

thanks!
kenny

      It is indeed the RED Mysterium-X. We used anamorphic lenses and it looks ever so nice!
